Wondering if anyone has experience having large breeds and bantams get along peacefully?
I have:
Light Brahma cockerel (3.5-4 months old)
SN black austrolorp pullet (3 months)
--these 2 get along great--
2 cochins and 1 welsummer (I hope all pullets, about 9-10 weeks. They stick together and...
Okay sorry guys I'm still new to chickens and after picking this little one up for a closer look, it's below the vent that has been plucked bare. I'm really leaning towards it just being due to it being wet/rainy/muddy and the wet fluff lead to others picking on it. Vent seems to be normal and...
I can take more pics tomorrow. I wasn't familiar with coccidiosis but I just went through and read a bunch of threads on it...I really hope that's not it but perhaps I should get some Corid. Couldn't hurt, right? :/
Thank you! She's my special girl. One eye and a cross beak. She's such a sweetheart. She would let me carry her around all day! My fiance has been teasing me saying she's a roo so I just had to make sure :)
Just picked these babies up today. Supposedly 8.5 weeks. 2 cochins and 1 welsummer. The cochins still have fluffy tails, not feathered tails... Guesses on gender?? Thanks.
Cochin 1 (Winnie)
Cochin 2 (Basil)
Welsummer (Zobee)
I am worried that I made a poor decision to trade half of my small flock.
I had three 14 week light Brahmas (2 cockerels and 1 pullet) and one 12 week black austrolorp pullet. My austrolorp is a crossbeak with 1 eye and doesn't travel too far from the run even though they have free run of...
I'm about to trade my bonded cockerel/pullet pair for these 2 cochins. They are 10 weeks and she "is guessing" they are pullets. I know this isn't much to go on but what do you think?
I have a small flock of 4 that have been together since hatch. They are 13 weeks old and 2 of them have turned out to be cockerels.
So far they are all very mellow birds. Is there any chance I could keep them all together without issue?
Someone was trying to tell me that since they've always...
I have three 13-14 week old Light Brahmas.
I know one is a pullet and one is a cockerel. The other one I really think is a cockerel too, and I'm about to trade it for a pullet but I was wondering what y'all think. It's face has has recently become just as red as the cockerel, and it has...
So here's all three.
Sobe (left) is definitely a pullet.
Zazu (right) is definitely a cockerel
DubDub (middle) is the one with the missing middle feathers. I've been unsure about it but in the last few days it has definitely been looking more and more like Zazu. Ugh these are my first chickens...
